1 Oct 2016

The day started out nice and sunny and then went very grey and then sunny, such was the process of the whole day. The gates opened at 8 and everyone was supposed to be in place by 9am, so I was there at 8 and only the organizers were there as well, bit light on for punters at that hour. a whole group more cars started to roll in ans line up and it was looking promising.

Some really very nice cars turned up and from Queensland, Western Australia as well as New South Wales, some very nice ones ans almost every one driven there too, rather than trailered, which is always the best thing. To say I was surprised that only a couple of the cars from the Canberra club turned up, one being an organiser, and not a single other Victorian club car was there other than mine! i though that the Vic club were coming on mass and had coordinated a meeting point for their drive up and all, but something obviously happened, not a single one. Both surprised and very disappointed with that from Canberra and Vic, oh well I guess the weather and flooding had them all too worried.

After the show I wandered about town, it certainly doesn't take long to get around anywhere here, it's quite a small place. It's not surprising to see a lot of closed shops about, though there are sure a lot of pubs in town. I haven't been out to The Dish, as I went out there last time I passed through here on the trip around Australia (5 Jun 2014 if you missed it)

Today is all about the cars though...

and some more from walking around town

 Off to Canberra in the morning...
